Our mother, Patricia Josephine Myers, was a beautiful lady whose loving
example not only shaped the lives of her family, but also all those for
whom she grew to care. She was lovely, compassionate, devout, creative,
intelligent, could not keep a poker face and, we have to say, stubborn.
Patsy was born on April 19, 1925 to Czech parents, Joe and Ethel Dobry
in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Her family owned the local flour mill. She
often celebrated her heritage by dancing the polka on Saturday nights at
the local Czech Hall. As a child, she often played with her neighbor,
Ralph Myers, whom she would later marry in 1948, and he was the love of
her life. He affectionately referred to her as "Superflea" because of
her diminutive size.
Before marriage, mother attended Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in
Terre Haute, Indiana and completed her degree in Business from the
University of Oklahoma in 1947. After marriage, Patricia gave birth to
four children, and because she was generous and caring, she also took in
two children of a close personal friend. Our home was happy, creative,
and full of noise and laughter. She organized "Manners Nights," but was
also a prankster who could never keep a straight face. She was an avid
skier and antique collecter.
Our family moved to Bartlesville from El Reno, Oklahoma after mother,
still raising four children, courageously returned to school to earn her
Master of Vocational Education Degree from OSU in 1968. In Bartlesville,
she was charged to teach at a brand new high school, Sooner High, and
initiated the Distributive Education Program there. After many years at
Sooner, she moved to Tri-County Tech to begin the VICA program and later
become their Library Media Specialist.
After retirement, she and Ralph enjoyed theatre and traveling, and were
doting grandparents. Mother was very dedicated to her faith and a
frequent volunteer at Saint John's Catholic Church and Meals On Wheels
thus earning her another nickname from our Dad, "Sister Patricia."
Patsy was preceded in death by her husband Ralph A. Myers in 2010 and
her son, Jeff Myers in 2006.
She is survived by daughter, Susan Murphy
and husband, Michael, daughter Mariann Cook and husband, Tye Palmer,
daughter, Laura Hunter and husband, Raymond, three grandchildren and six
great grandchildren.
